While are we allowing the actions of a few citizens to affect thousands. These people should know that not everybody can live in Accra. That was the case in the sixties and seventies. It is when we allowed containers and kiosks around that has created all these urban squalor.

The whole of Ghana has become one big village with spanning and sprawling and spawning zongos. Thanx to these reckless and lawless citizens who build anywhere and erect containers and kiosks and other unauthorized structures everywhere. Very good move by NADMO. All of us cannot suffer due to the reckless actions of a few. BRAVO NADMO!

Please NADMO, do this all over Accra. When Rawling left office, most of these people left their village and went to Accra; that's when they took over our streets and started selling everything possible, in the middle of the streets. When President Kuffuor was informed to do something about these people, he suggested that they were his constituents and that they helped to elect him. The bold ones eventually started erecting structures to live in and today, most these structure block some the few traffic safety signs we have by the side of our streets/roads. BTW, most of these people have no toilet facilities so you can only imagine what happens to our gutters, other drains and some of our water bodies. As at now, one may wonder if Accra can even be called a city; if it is, it has to be one of the dirtiest on the planet!

Avogadro, that was a very useful comment. Thank you very much. We have to be bold to fix the junk in our cities. Accra keeps deteriorating everyday because of lawlessness. This must stop.

THIS IS THE FOOLISHNESS OF WE GHANAIANS. WHEN YOUR BROTHER WAS DOING THE WRONG THING, YOU DID NOT STOP HIM. NOW THAT THE RIGHT THING IS BEING DONE TO PREVENT FLOODS, YOU ARE CRYING AND TRYING TO BLACKMAIL THE AUTHORITIES WITH EMOTIONS. ANYBODY WHO HAS ENCROACHED ON STATE LANDS, WATER WAYS OR WETLANDS WILL NEVER HAVE MY SYMPATHY. THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE DONE AND OUR CITIES HAVE BECOME SLUMS. ALL ASSEMBLIES MUST DO THIS. THE IMPUNITY IS JUST TOO MUCH.

That's all. It's about time we bring back the discipline we had during the Rawlings era. Ghana is fast sinking with filth and slums

Demolish all unauthorised structures in all Ghana towns and cities.Ghanaians have no respect for the law. Even on state lands you find unauthorised buildings and structures. Demolish them all!!!.

Were they not give enough time to evacuate the said area ? I don't see why people should coming sharing hard crocodile tears before cameras when they were kept informed before hand. My sympathy for their displacement and lost of lands, houses or stores but, they should know time changes and it must benefit the whole region or the whole Country. While the Government must with every malice pay them compensation for their various loses due to the propose project.

Where did they live before the containe?. Go back to your villages and towns. You cant afford to live in Accra. These shanty towns become havens for criminals and miscreants. Destroy all of them. Now squatters are all over. East legon and airport too. Turning residential areas into total crap holes.

As much as I sympathise with the woman, I think those in the assemblies who gave out permits should be brought to book. Those who encroached on the land did not go there without some form of authorisation.

#StopGaamsey#AMA we do not see your action in Accra Central, the well planned lanes, alleys and pavements have all been taken over by kiosks, wooden structures serving as homes, all fire hydrants covered and blocked. Water tap tubes are been laid and these contractors have to be digging and navigating through these containers on pavements. State institutions must wake up. #SaveOurPlanet#
